Here are three business stories with a Father's Day theme that I thought you might enjoy. The first two are about when a father and son or a father and daughter are in business together.
From Inc: Like Father, Like Son?
"Scott Koeze, above, in the cowboy hat, is intuitive and old-fashioned. His son Jeff -- that's him in the bowtie -- is intellectually curious and methodical. When the son joined the father at the helm of the family business, they made for unusual partners. And when the father abruptly resigned -- well, let's just say the business changed a lot."
From Forbes: Their Father's Daughter
"As fathers are spending more time with their family, more daughters are following dad's career path."
The third article is about Bill Gates, father and son. A lot has been written about Bill Gates' boyhood, precociousness, and opportunity. Not enough has been written about Bill Gates the Elder and the interesting relationship between father and son. Here are two recent articles on the two men and their relationship.
From Fortune: Gates on Gates
"The father-and-son duo talk about what it was like growing up Gates as they reflect on the advice that has influenced their careers and their relationship."
From the Wall Street Journal: Raising Bill Gates
"Spend time with the family of Bill Gates, and eventually someone will mention the water incident."
